%X Immigrants  and  asylum  seekers  have  been  arriving  at  the  borders  of  the  European  Union (EU) continuously for decades. Although there was a noticeable decline during the pandemic, their numbers have already picked up again. Their identification is crucial, also in case of failure in their attempt to cross the border. This is the case of migrants who die at sea and whose bodies cannot be identified. The agencies of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice together with the member states  have  addressed  the  border  identification  of  migrants  and  asylum  seekers  by  progressively resorting to artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to develop a system that guarantees security at European borders. The European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (EU-LISA) has had its mandate extended to  focus  on  the  implementation  of  EU  border  and  asylum  management  and  migration  areas.  The  purpose of this note is to point out some potential risks in the current management at the border of AI systems in relation to the human rights of migrants and asylum seekers.
